You dont HAVE to play Freebird. You could play Green Grass and High Tides by The Outlaws. Use your freaking imagination, BW!

Or the live version of "Can't You See," by The Marshall Tucker Band.

Hey everybody, WFMU has been included in a "best non-commercial station in the world" contest - got to soundtap.com/madness , create an account and listen everyday. Help us kick some NPR Ass!!

Andrew Waterloo:
Good morning, good show Ben

Mike East:
Something I was thinking about yesterday - NPR stations are far from NON Commercial. I hear ads all the time on there. Of course, I'm not quite sure how to patronize the James T. and Katherine P. McArthur Foundation. The point is, WFMU is the ONLY real NON Commercial station that I know of.

wfmu is too preoccupied with music and it's own brand. Very selfish

p.s. no ads on b.b.c. or c.b.c.

It'll be great for WFMU to get more attention/listeners/money...invite all the freaks whose minds and hearts are wide open to all manner of musical expression. But face it, to win a popularity contest, WFMU has to morph into something else. Clear Channel anyone?

you know, hamburger - just mayo - I usually put horseradish on it, but when I looked in the fridge this morning, to my dismay, we were out. I thought about mustard, but it just ain't the same for me.

Back talk? I see. I can't even complain about the way I'm treated.

Mon. 3/19/12 10:41am
Andrew Waterloo:
The first thing I noticed when I started browsing around the contest site was that shows were categorized by genre. Something that only a few shows on WFMU actually fit into. The one that due seem to fall in the "other" category.

Mon. 3/19/12 10:42am
Krypt:
No contest WFMU is the best, I'm a brit and the BBC is so square by comparison.

music needs to be organized by genre because if you listen to the wrong one then the cool kids will make fun of you

But seriously that's why I can't stand satellite radio every station is so genre specific.

@sub BW: Here's my testimonial to this morning's playlist so far (at least I was tuned in for a good deal of it): It has been lovely to transplant tomato seedlings to. I thank you and they thank you!

@Krypt People bang on about Radio 6 but even that repeats itself and becomes samey after about a week of listening. Everyone seems to love Jarvis's show, but I find he chat's too much.

I'm a complete Jarvis Sunday Service fan. That recent one he did with Leonard Cohen was fantastic. An Tom Ravenscroft sounds so much like his father - its uncanny.

I want to go see that damn play at barbican... the Bulgakov one.. but its sold out.. other than that I want to go to comic book stores and maybe um.. some pubs

Mon. 3/19/12 11:17am
Krypt:
Come to Glasgow B.W. :)

Mon. 3/19/12 11:19am
Nathan:
@BW Can't think of any decent comic book stores nor have I spied one. Think that Bulgakov play is sold out. Pubs on the other hand... well that's something of a speciality. Where are you staying while you're here?

I think the Guardian's space is near King's Cross....walk to both the British Library and the Welcome Collection. Both awesome.
